next “probably a good idea” clean‑up: changing all the int.Parse( object.ToString() )s to Convert.ToInt32( object ), and similar conversions. likewise, changing all the C‑style (type)object to Convert.ToType( object ).

I’m actually slurring my speech. I think that means I should go to bed.

my latest experiments with LJ.NET [source] appear to be functional, but I can’t be sure. would anyone care to play with it a bit, see if you can make it break?

there’s nothing really drastic in the code—some borrowings from talisker added to my previous modifications—but I played with the installer a bit, and I’m not sure what effect that will have on systems other than mine (where it has none whatsoever, aside from a relatively large reduction in size).
